I had two inverted V beams (a 3 element on NA and 4 element on EU)
on 20m before I had rotatable antennas. They worked quite well. I
don't know what the gain was but much better than a dipole. Signals
from one direction went down 20-30 dB when I switched to the other
direction.

A vertical is also omni directional but multiple verticals definitely have a
pattern. I have modeled an inverted V yagi for someone in Aruba and the
patterned looked fine. Many people build them by stretching a single boom
rope between two towers and tying the ends of the elements to something on
the ground. Most are not installed super high and do not have a low
radiation angle.

## The problem with a single inverted vee is.... it radiates omni
directional...off the ends
and the sides. Unless the enclosed angle is like 150-180 degs, I cant see
making a
wire yagi from inverted vee els having much success. Has anybody modeled
it ?
